The Odds Pod – Season 1 Episode 2 – Will Sliney

Will Sliney

Hailing from the picturesque East Cork seaside town of Ballycotton, Will Sliney hit the professional comics world like a tidal wave with an acclaimed run on Farscape which he quickly followed up with stints on Marvel books Fearless Defenders and Spider-Man 2099. Closer to home he wrote and drew Celtic Warrior: The Legend Of Cu Chulainn a stunning retelling of the ancient Irish myth.

His adventures in a galaxy far, far away have seen him tangle with bounty hunters, Jedi Knights, Sith Lords and the occasional scruffy looking nerf herder. His work on the Star Wars book The Rise of Kylo Ren saw him and writer Charles Soule tell Ben Solo’s tragic back story, not only that but he got to design a major Star Wars character in Ren.

He’s currently the co-creator of Image Comics smash hit Hell To Pay, again with Charles Soule on writing duties. This ongoing series tells the story of two married adventurers given the impossible task of buying their way out of an infernal debt.

Outside of comics Will has forged a massively successful career in TV, with his Draw With Will series on Sky Television and his “Will Sliney’s Storytellers” series on RTE Television in Ireland. Will’s become ubiquitous in the art for children and his philosophy that art is a skill to be learned not a talent that only some are born with has opened up the world of art to millions of kids across Ireland and Europe.

We caught up with him earlier in the year to discuss his plans for 2023 and of course his favorite apocalypse.
